Maybe not my favorite SKM song, but definitely Top 3. So haunting...
The meaning is obvious, I think: it's a story about watching a heroin addict slowly die. The title, "soot into her lungs" (I guess she was smoking it, or maybe "lungs" is just a metaphor), "like poison, it succumbs her", and all of the obvious death references.
The arrangement is just so beautiful: the way the distant bass drum comes in toward the end, then the light backing vocals.
